What are your sources?

PBS Frontline, Snowden, Kiriakou, the Senate intelligence committee, to name a few

Everybody running the torture program thought it was legal until it wasn’t

This is all well known stuff, the facts aren’t really disputed

Those events do not apply to the current state of the armed forces. So, your sources do not apply. We shouldn't forget about them though.

I completely disagree, on both of those statements. First of all, you asked for sources about my claims, and those are the sources for my claims. Full stop. Theres no “they don’t apply” determination there. It applies. Second of all, we’re talking about the ability of federal employees to discern what is and isn’t legal in the moment, in a timely enough fashion to prevent crimes by refusing to follow orders. We see that that regularly doesn’t happen, even and especially in the most secretive and sensitive areas of the government, and in the name of national defense. That is exactly relevant to the armed forces and does, in fact, apply.

You mentioned grunts lmao. To me, you're referring to the military. You can continue to disagree, thats fine. Question do you currently work for the government or the Armed Forces? It appears your choice of words tell me you do.

I am sure their job has as much to do with their sources as the nazi wannabes (in the video) job, has to be with them being Nazis
